A Word from Lawrence County Commissioner Scott Franks: solid waste convenience centers

Lawrence County Citizens -

As you may be aware, Lawrence County is in the process of establishing solid waste convenience centers in various parts of the County.

These centers will allow citizens to drop off their solid waste and recyclables without driving to the transfer facility in Lawrenceburg.

We are in the process of identifying possible locations for such a facility in the North end of the County. A few potential parcels have been identified and are being considered - but I am reaching out to see if there may be other parcels available.

The centers require 1.5-2.0 acres of property and need to be somewhat conveniently located.

These convenience centers will have the garbage hauled away daily and will be kept very sanitary - so it is not like a landfill/dump. I have attached a photo of a similar center in a neighboring County as a visual reference.

If you have any such property, or know of a potential parcel, please contact me at (931) 629-2491 so we may discuss it further.

Looking forward to gathering some information.
